A lot has been happening behind the scenes, some of which I would love to have your thoughts on - so I'll keep it as brief as possible in bringing you all up to speed. 1 - Sporting Equals Ambassador I recently became an ambassador for a charity that promotes access to underrepresented people to sport and outdoor activities, benefiting their health, mental health and expanding social community attachments. I am so honoured to be working alongside some amazing ambassadors who w

Watch the highlights video from the Future Countryside Event held at Raby Castle on 2nd June 2026, where I had the honour of speaking to heads of countryside organisations and members of parliament about working together to find better solutions for our countryside.

These days, when I crouch down to check a hedgerow or woodland edge with my thermal, there's a fairly good chance I'll make at least one noise getting back up again. My knees are in agony, my back creaks, and if I've slept funny the night before, even lifting my rifle out of the cabinet can feel like a mistake. Welcome to deer stalking in your forties! For many women (and men), this involves navigating changing hormones, aches and pains, skin that is suddenly hyper-sensitive

This year, I had the honour of being asked to become one of only a handful of official Game Fair Ambassadors for 2026. At first, I assumed it would mainly involve marketing meetings, media days, PR activities and creating content to help promote the show through my social media channels. While all of that was certainly part of the role, I soon realised it meant so much more than that to me, and to others. Being an ambassador is about relationships. It's about trust. The PR te

Memoir of a Black British Huntress UPDATE - 10/08/2026: Since releasing my self published memoir in June 2026, I am excited to share that after having discussions with 2 publishers, I have signed an International publishing deal with Austin Macauley Publishers! It was an easy decision to make based on the company's history, 20 years of experience and their detailed praise of the book, so I knew they were the right team to work with. Therefore my original book is no longer ava

As I write this I am getting ready to head to the Future Countryside event by Countryside Alliance, held at Raby Castle, where I will be speaking in the afternoon in front of a room of key figures within parliament about what we can do to make people fall in love with the countryside again, and engage more with it's custodians. And I'm nervous. Why? Because I have to speak on stage? No. Because I am going to be surrounded by people who don't understand me or where I am from?

What is The Stalking Show? The Stalking Show is a self-described show for hunters built by hunters, and since my first time at the show in 2023, working on the Katie Hargreaves fine art stand, I would have to agree. What struck me initially that first year was how different the people looked. I had lways felt slightly out of place at some other shows, dressed in my camo and combats. But here, I fitted right in; a hunter amongst other hunters. I loved how the owners David and

As the first shooting show of the year, every year there is a huge expectation for the British Shooting Show to deliver. This year, it certainly did! First to get the award thing out of the way - being nominated as finalist for the Media Contributor Award 2026 was a personal win for me, just to be included in the line up as the only female! And even though I didn't win the award - being nominated alongside my hero Andy Crow was a lifetime achievement as far as I was concerned

The quick answer to the question above is - yes, obviously - and although some fantastic things happened in my life last year, now it's definitely time to focus on the year ahead... I never make New Year's resolutions. Instead, I make mini promises to myself throughout the year, that I work hard to turn into action in the months ahead. So, what's the latest promises I've made? And have any of the promises from the last few months come to fruition yet....? Promise 1 - Focus o

Earlier this year I became the first ever female - and black - HikMicro ambassador; a position I am extremely proud to hold. The Company has been around for almost a decade; and amongst many other products which they offer to the industrial, security and military market, they offer thermal monoculars, binoculars, and scopes for hunting and wildlife observation to a worldwide market - only a couple of years ago they ranked 3rd in global shipment! I first learned about HikMicro

Nicole Moore, partridge shoot in Dorset - image by Charlotte Cranwell Photography It was a very strange feeling, yet extremely liberating and exhilarating, to be able to choose my own gun after so many years of shooting. As a newcomer to the sport 16 years ago, being a female in my mid-twenties surrounded by men, I accepted that I knew nothing and therefore I should take the advice - and guns - that I was given. However, after several years of doing this and with more experie
